New Short Essay on Veganism for Earth Week

I co-authored this along with Jana Crawford, a doctoral student specializing in animal ethics at the University of Toronto. The short essay makes a case for veganism in connection with Earth Week, emphasizing the role of compassion in ethics. It is entitled, "The Ethical Case for the Vegan Challenge: Being Able to Look Big Tom Right in the Eye." It can be found on the Rabble.ca, alternative media website:

The essay was crafted for Toronto Pig Save, as part of its promoting the Vegan Challenge in various workplaces, including that of Rabble. This was following Oprah Winfrey's own Vegan Challenge in the last season of her talk show. We were very pleased with the result of our collaboration and hope you enjoy it too!
